Mission Statement The mission of the JD Doyle Archives is to gather, digitize, and share LGBT music and Houston/Texas LGBT History. This is done on three large websites. The work began in 2000, with the radio show Queer Music Heritage, which ran until 2015. Its site archives all the shows, along with playlists, artist images and much more. In recent years, additional sites have been launched. The website Houston LGBT History houses Houston and also statewide history, including the broad areas of Publications, Politics, Pride and many other cultural areas. And the Texas Obituary Project is a searchable database of those we have lost, with an emphasis on those lost to AIDS. Both are ever expanding, with a common goal of making our history accessible. |

From January 2000 until March 2015 "Queer Music Heritage" was both a radio show and a website, and the goal of both was to preserve and share the music of our culture. Each month's page gives the playlist and additional pages of info, and you can stream or download every show. Although the programming has stopped the site will continue as a resource for the history of LGBT music. |
From the start
I found my QMH site a place to share the extensive information |
This is a special project of my radio show and website Queer Music Heritage. It was designed as sort of a study guide, or lesson plan, and I hope it appeals to those LGBT Studies courses now found at many universities around the country. |
|
A companion show to QMH, OutRadio focused mainly on new LGBT music. The show ran from January 2010 through March 2015, and is completely archived. |

For a few years, mostly 2012 through 2014, I maintained a music blog for expanding on info not covered in the radio shows. As I launched the other big sites and, in 2015 discontinued the radio part, I have done very few entries recently but there's still lots of good stuff to be found. |

And there's also my activity on Facebook. I normally do 15 or so posts per day towards my Gay Agenda: To entertain and educate about our culture....this could be showing the covers of old LGBT publications, bar ads (mostly from Houston), vintage photos of (perhaps) gay & lesbian couples, book covers, music information, cartoons, etc etc etc, and more etc. |
I sometimes do similar postings to Instagram, which meets a different audience, though at the moment I am using it mostly for the promotion of my new book. |

Donate, Please!
The JD
Doyle Archives has been approved by the IRS for 501c3 non-profit
status,
so all donations are tax deductible. If you enjoy my site, please consider a small donation. The site has a huge amount of PDF files and graphics, and well, it's an expensive site, requiring a large dedicated server. If you're moved to help share and preserve our culture's history it would be very much appreciated. -- JD Doyle |

And, this nice thing happened, May 8, 2019... My

They have since amended their request to also include Texas Obituary Project and the Houston LGBT History websites
